Install a separate 32 bit version of the jre, and then link your java
library for firefox to that. Its what I do and it works fine.
My link looks like:

:~/.mozilla> ls -alt plugins
total 124
drwxr-xr-x 2 wcn00 users 4096 2008-09-24 10:57 .
lrwxrwxrwx 1 wcn00 users 63 2008-09-24 10:57 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_07/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

So your 64 bit firefox will just run applets via a 32 bit java plugin.

I really need to use Java for remote access via logmein.com, how can I
do that with 64-bit Firefox?



Firefox 64-bit will not load a 32-bit plugin:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so
[/usr/lib64/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS32]

Unless placing it in ~/.mozilla/plugins is different than
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins, somehow...
